Sociolinguistics Circle - One Day Conference 28 March
We are happy to announce the call for papers for the first conference of
the Sociolinguistics Circle: an initiative by a group of scholars
working in the Netherlands. The aim of the conference is to bring
together students and researchers of language variation,
sociolinguistics and social dynamics of language with a connection to
the Low Countries. Particular emphasis is put on student participation:
the conference is open to researchers of all levels and there will be no
registration fee.
The one-day conference will be hosted by the University of Groningen on
28 March 2014. We now welcome abstracts for papers and posters (on any
linguistic variety). Abstracts should deal with topics in variationist
linguistics, sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, dialectology, or
related disciplines.
Abstracts of no more than 300 words (excluding references) should be
submitted in English or Dutch to
[log in to unmask] before
12 February 2014.
